IMPROVEMENT IN CALENDARS.

Specification forming partlof Letters Patent No. 188,656, dated March20, 1877; application filed January 8, 1877.

which- Figure l is a front view. Fig. 2 is a transverse section throughline a; m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 exhibits a modification.

The invention will first be fully described in connection with all thatis necessary to a full understanding thereof, and then pointed out inthe claim.

A represents a paper card-board, having the top ring a, by which itmaybe hung, and a slit, a connecting with two right-angled ones, a aThese make a tongue-or flap, B, which can be pushed aside or lifted withthe finger. Near the topv of 'slit a I paste or otherwise fasten twelvemonthly calendars, G, the top one being that for January, and the othersfollowing successively in the order of the months, ending with December.

It will be observed that to the right of each day of the months is aline, on which may be noted any desired memorandum. After a month hasbeen passed each paper is turned up, passed through slit a, and held onthe opposite side of card-board for future reference. When the wholeyear has elapsed the slit a may be extended or cut out on each side,thus separating the aggregate of monthly calendars, and leaving themtogether and in a suitable form for reference, as well as for beingfiled away orI may make the slit a in the enlarged plate A, that isprovided with a top aperture, by which it can be hung to a nail; or Imay omit the slit in card-board, and make the opening on behind theplate B, which is bent together in one direction, so as to bite upon andhold fast to the calendars (l, and in the opposite direction at eachend, so as to pierce and clamp the plate to the card-board.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- A memorandumhaving monthly calendars C, fastened at their upper edges, near anopening, 0. to allow them to be turned over, and made to. hang inregular order behind one another, as shown and described, for thepurpose specified.
